STARTING AND STOPPING
Starting and stopping
Cold engine
Starting: The chain brake should be activated when starting
the chain saw. Activate the chain brake by pushing the front
hand guard forwards.
Ignition; choke (A): Pull out the blue choke control to the
choke position. This should automatically set the red stop
switch to the start position (upwards).
Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is
obtained by moving the control to the choke position.
Air purge (B): Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins
to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.
Decompression valve (C): Press in the valve to reduce the
pressure in the cylinder and reduce the traction force on the
starter cord when starting. Once the machine has started the
valve will automatically return to its original setting.
Warm engine
Use the same procedure as for starting a cold engine but
without setting the choke control in the choke position. Set the
throttle to the start position by pulling out the blue choke
control to the choke position and then pushing it in again.
Starting
Grip the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw
on the ground by placing your right foot through the rear
handle. Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull
out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the
starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly. Never wrap
the starter cord around your hand
Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires which
can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on pulling the cord
powerfully until the engine starts. When the engine starts,
quickly apply full throttle; the throttle start lock will
automatically disengage.
!
WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
The chain brake must be engaged when the
chain saw is started to reduce the chance of
contact with the moving chain during
starting.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain
and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise
the clutch can come loose and cause
personal injuries.
Place the machine on firm ground. Make
sure you have a secure footing and that the
chain cannot touch anything.
Keep people and animals well away from the
working area.
